SIGNAL.

Application filed. December 31, 1924. Serial No. 759,129.

This invention relates to a signal for motor vehicles, the general object of the invention being to provide a device at each side of the vehicle, at the front thereof, for indicating to the drivers of vehicles approachvid-e means whereby the devices can be attached to the front fenders of a vehicle.

This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claim.

In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughoutthe sev eral views, and in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of the front part of an automobile showing the invention in use.

Figure 2 is a section on line 22 of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is an enlarged face view of one of the devices.

'In most localities the traflic laws give the vehicle on the right the right-of-way over a vehicle on the left of a street intersection when two vehicles reach the intersection at approximately the same time and in order to prevent confusion as to the carrying out of this rule I provide signal carrying members adapted to be attached to the front of the vehicle at each side thereof, one signal containing the word Stop and the other the word Go so that when the vehicle reaches a street intersection the word Stop will be seen by the drivers of vehicles approaching the intersection from the left of the vehicle containing the signal while the word Go will be seen by the drivers of vehicles approaching the intersection from the right. Thus the drivers of the other vehicles will know just what to do and danger of collision at street intersections will be eliminated. I prefer to make the signal members each in the form of a disc 1 which has an ear 2 formed at its lower part, the ear being of hooked shape so that it may engage the flange 3 of a front fender l of the vehicle, the parts being connected together by rivets 5 or the like. A vertical bend is made in each disc to form a strengthening rib 6. The outer face of one disc contains the wordStop and the outer face of the opposite disc contains the word G0, the stop disc being placed on the left hand fender and the go disc being placed on the right hand fender. The

'rear faces of the discs may contain advertising matter.

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of my invention will be readily apparent.

I desire it to be understood that I may make changes in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claim.

What I claim is A signal of the class described including a disk, a laterally offset perforated ear, hook shaped in cross section, formed on said disk and said disk being formed with a V-shaped bend providing a strengthening rib extending axially of the disk and in line with the central portion of said ear.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
